So, let's all just stick with Windows and *CONTINUE* to pay for what would
otherwise be free with Linux
That is the dumbest concept I have ever heard. Can't believe a human being
actually thinks that way. I would much rather switch to something, knowing I
lost money, if it would keep me from
install
anything - this would be much easier. I found that I like bash scripts -
after creating one that will back-up all my personal file in a matter of
seconds.
Thank you in advance for any help,
Ian MacGregor

That's OK. If enough people complain, maybe someone will do something about
the problem.

Same here...
Sorry
I found that there ais a weather plug-in in Kontact.
I tried to configure it in Setting - Configure on the Summary page in
Kontact, but, can't figure out how to do it.
Is there someone out there who can give me some info on how to configure this
plug-in so I can have the current weather for my
to telnet me.
Is this sufficient? Or, must I learn how to deal with iptables?

Hmmm. Not sure if you could see me as a good friend, but I do ping once
From what I understand, the majority of the problems are a result of
upgrading rather than formatting the hard drive and doing a clean install.
I never upgrade for this very reason. Doing a clean install aleviates many
headaches. Upgrading should not even be a consideration.

I have been using a download edition which I purchased from
almostfreelinux.com about 3 months ago for $10.00 US.
I have never seen any adverts. And, I have never had any of the problems
reported by others on theis list.

I don't know about downloading Mandrake 10.0 Official, but, you can buy the
Official Power Pack edition (5 CD's) for about $10.00 Us at:
http://www.almostfreelinux.com
This is how I got my current Mandrake 10.0 Community and it
of updates is empty.
What does all this mean? And, how do I fix it? Any help would be greatly
appreciated.
Sincerely,

I have a 3.5 floppy icon on the desktop
Yes, but the floppy formatter doesn't work while the floppy drive is mounted.
How do I format floppies? Besides booting with a LiveCD (Knoppix) and using
their format floppy tool.

2. Is there any way to disable supermount? If so, how and
where?
/snip
You can do it by editing (as root) /etc/fstab. But why ?
Until a few months ago supermount was a pain in the ass and we all
had to disable it, meaning we had to mount
Thank you, this is most helpful :)

Here's a tip:
Don't recompile your kernel unless you know what you're doing.
Oh well, a complete re-install only takes an hour :)
Live and learn... I guess.

Supermount is OK
to in Fedora Core
and some of these settings would not allow me to run certain programs. After
adjusting these settings, I could run all my programs. I felt good about
Mandrake's security. Much better than any other distro I had used.
Hope this works for you.

I have a 9 GB hard drive and installed almost everything in Mandrake 10.0 and
am still only using half of my partition. That should give you an idea of how
much HD space to dedicate to a Linux partition. It will really depend on how
much you will fill up with personal files. I don't know much
